Road to Peace

When he woke up again, Yang Shen was actually woken up by heat.

In a daze, he reached out to lift the heavy quilt from his body, but when he touched the thing and realized that the touch was wrong, he suddenly woke up. It was not a quilt, and he did not lie on the bed safely.

The heavy object that surrounded him, so hot that he was almost sweating, might be Lan Suyuan.

Pushing back with his elbows, Yang Shen immediately sat up halfway, and looked to the side with his eyes wide open.

It was still dark all around, and the light didn't change a bit under the water of an unknown number of meters, and it was never possible to distinguish day from night.

In this kind of place where it is not known whether there are ferocious creatures in any corner of the sea, it is really unreasonable for him to sleep so soundly.

The body covered by the palms transmitted scorching heat, Yang Shen withdrew his hands, his face changed, the heat really came from Lan Suyuan's body.

It's so hot that it's frightening, and it's weird.

How could this be?

Not long ago, this man was pressing his head vigorously to prevent him from leaving his embrace, and he was still vigorously pressing him step by step to tell the secret in his heart.

His toughness and calmness at that time even made Yang Shen mistakenly think that Lan Suyuan was not injured as badly as he imagined, it was just that there were too many wounds to feel terrible.

Who knew that when he woke up, his physical strength recovered a lot, but Lan Suyuan became like this.

Even the seawater around him was so infected that its temperature rose, like a heat source constantly steaming, churning slightly.

This is obviously not a good sign, if there is fish around, it is probably almost cooked.

Similar symptoms in human beings represent minor ailments such as colds and fevers, and they will be cured within two days without even taking medicine.

But the sharks are different, they will never allow such a high body temperature, and it is impossible to have such a high body temperature.

If it continues to be this hot, he suspects that this man will catch fire... Some scene flashed in his mind, and Yang Shen's eyes were filled with gloom.

This situation reminded him of Yueguang.

I thought of the strange funeral that I glimpsed under the accident, the cold sea area, the weeping song of the merman, the painful and strange death of the female merman, and the raging fire burning on her body.

The shrill screams, the inescapable struggle and the horrific passing have always been deeply engraved in his mind, too vivid to be unforgettable forever.

Lan Suyuan's current situation is very similar to that at that time!

Could it be that that damned strange disease happened in such an isolated place? !

By the way... There is no cold jade bed here, and there is nothing that can suppress the temperature... The temperature in this sea area is not as cold as the bone-chilling tomb of the sharks.

However, he didn't even know how this strange disease came about, and it was his own speculation that low temperature might suppress the onset of the disease based on what he had seen and heard, let alone how to deal with it.

The most fearful thing is that there is no way to deal with it. Although it is cruel, this is probably the truth, otherwise those mermaids would never have watched Yue Guang die but could do nothing.

Then Lan Suyuan?

Yang Shen was suddenly anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet.

He called a few times cautiously, but the other party didn't answer, not to mention the ecstatic voice, even the hoarse voice was gone, Lan Suyuan unexpectedly lost consciousness, not in a deep sleep.

damn it!But at such a time!

Comparing the two phases, it turns out that his body temperature is much lower than Lan Suyuan's now. There is no better way, but he can only lean over to share the other party's heat as much as possible.

If the heavens wanted him to watch this man whom he had managed to get a little closer to be burned alive by flames before his eyes, it would be more than just heartbreaking.

He didn't want to see that kind of scene for the rest of his life, it was definitely a lingering nightmare.

If that moment really came, Yang Shen felt that he would rush forward without hesitation, even if he used his body to put out the fire.

It seems hypocritical to say that we live together and die together, so just do it. If you want him to watch, he will never do it.

The temperature on Lan Suyuan's body continued to rise, and not long after, even Yang Shen's body was already red, like two cooked shrimps.

No, this is useless, he is not an ice cube, he is a human being, he has a constant body temperature, and cannot alleviate the immediate danger at all.

For a moment, Yang Shen even wanted to resent himself for being a warm-blooded animal, but this resentment was meaningless.

If he stayed here, Lan Suyuan would basically be hopeless. Yang Shen gritted his teeth and decided to go deep and explore this place.

No one knows what lies ahead, maybe there is a huge danger, but there may also be something else, such as something that can cool down Lan Suyuan.

Even if it is a [-]% chance, you can't give up.

"Wake up, Lan Suyuan, wake up—" Yang Shen, who stood up first, patted Lan Suyuan's face, bent down, and struggled to pull Lan Suyuan's arm to pull him up.

The idea of ​​letting Lan Suyuan lie here and go to explore the way first appeared only once, and it was immediately rejected, not to mention whether Lan Suyuan would have any emergencies here alone.

Even if the environment here is clearly safe, it is impossible for him to let this person lie here alone, just in case... No, not in case.

Lan Suyuan's eyelids trembled slightly, Yang Shen couldn't see in the dark, but he felt the other party's slight movements, and his heart was overjoyed.

"Persevere, there must be a way, can you stand up?"

No.

Lan Suyuan didn't speak, but from the heavy force coming from both arms, Yang Shen knew that Lan Suyuan might not be able to use half of his strength at this moment.

That strange illness not only made him scorching like a flame that was about to ignite, but also seemed to take away all his strength.

Yang Shen gritted his teeth, and showed a forced smile in the darkness, "It's okay, come on, I'll carry you on my back, maybe we can find a way to go forward, hurry up."

An adult mermaid is heavier than an ordinary adult human, not to mention that Yang Shen's body cannot even reach the strength of a normal person.

The buoyancy of sea water was originally a help to the mermaids, but now it has become a burden to add to the chaos.

Whether it is dragging Lan Suyuan up or carrying Lan Suyuan forward, it is too heavy a burden for him, but he does not know where the perseverance comes from, but Yang Shen just keeps silent, trying his best to get Lan Suyuan out. to his back.

Lan Suyuan tried his best to support his eyelids. He didn't completely lose consciousness from the very beginning, but his current physical condition is really too bad, so bad that it can't stop that stubborn human being from doing such overwhelmed things. .

Obviously, he couldn't die if he was left there for a while.

He also believed that Yang Shen would definitely come back after he went out to explore the way.

It doesn't have to be that way.

The injuries suffered in the deep-sea storm are actually not terrible, and the mermaid's self-healing ability has always been tenacious.

Just before coaxing Yang to go to sleep, he was still absorbing power little by little from the natal shark bead to speed up the healing of his wounds.

It's just that even the almost omnipotent king didn't expect that the "reaction" would appear without warning.

Probably not without warning, the water temperature in this sea area is indeed relatively high, and more importantly, he used too much power before.

If you want to gain power, you have to pay a price.This "reaction" is the price they cannot escape.

Lan Suyuan felt that the thin human being under him was staggering forward, as if he might fall down at any moment—but miraculously, he never did.

He knew that Yang Shen was afraid of falling to him. This human being might be a little stronger than he imagined, and also... care about him a little more.

It's like he didn't realize that Yang Shen's weight in his heart had reached the point where he couldn't ignore it.

"Let go." Finally gathering some strength, Lan Suyuan leaned against Yang Shen's ear and uttered two words.

The footsteps of the human under him were startled, obviously a little pleasantly surprised, but they tightened their grip even more disobediently, "Hold on tight, hold on a little longer!"

"..." Sure enough, he was already disobedient.

Lan Suyuan felt his blood was boiling, that kind of heat was running around from every cell and every vein, trying to break through the restraint of his body and come to this world.

And he knew very well that once he rushed out, it would turn into a devouring fire, burning him and the idiot who was carrying him, without leaving a trace.

Control them, suppress them, it's not yet time, his lifespan hasn't come to an end, it's an accident, he has to suppress it.

Everything experienced at this moment is nothing less than a war. Whether it is for Yang Shen or Lan Suyuan, they are fighting against themselves and time, using their own flesh and blood as the battlefield.

The temperature of the sea water seems to be starting to drop.

Yang Shen felt that his walking became more and more difficult, and the people on his back became heavier and hotter. Every time he raised his leg, it felt like a heavy iron block was falling.

But at this point, it is even more impossible to let go.

This place turned out to be extraordinarily large, and at the same time, it was extraordinarily strange. I didn't feel the slightest living thing along the way, not even any entangled aquatic plants, and it was so clean that it was a bit oozing.

The ground under his feet is not as uneven as the ordinary sea bottom, full of mud and sand, it is smooth and smooth, like... like inhabited buildings.

Suddenly, Yang Shen tripped over something strange, completely unprepared, he rushed forward with inertia, and fell to his knees on the ground, but held on firmly, not completely falling down.

He still had Lan Suyuan on his back, which he always remembered.

And the unknown thing that tripped him seemed to be flipped by the sudden impact, and a light suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Yang Shen raised his head subconsciously, and saw something that shocked him so much that he would never forget it.

That is the shadow, the shadow of the building.The silhouettes of huge, magnificent, and endless buildings slowly appeared in front of his eyes following the light.
